Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cup mashed cooked sweet potato about 1 large
  • 1/2 cup almond butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 scoop BetterDays chocolate protein powder 20 g total
  • 2/3 cup Lily’s sugar-free chocolate chips plus a few extra for the top!
  • flaky sea salt for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  • Peel and boil sweet potato until tender.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together sweet potato, eggs, maple syrup, and almond butter until smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, combine cocoa powder, BetterDays protein powder, and baking soda.
  • Add dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until a thick, smooth batter forms.
  • Fold in Lily’s chocolate chips, reserving a few to sprinkle on top.
  • Spread evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 25 minutes, until edges are set and the center looks just slightly under-baked.
  • Top with flaky sea salt.
  • Let cool completely before slicing. For an extra-fudgy texture, chill for 30 minutes before cutting.
